I am using Patran for setting up dytran model and then using dytran explorer to submit the job. How can I setup parallel processing for my model as it takes long time to run due large number of elements. Thanks.

Hi Shank
Dytran supports both Shared memory (SMP) and Distributed memory (DMP) for parallelization of your run (You can find more info under Dytran User's Guide, Dytran Documentation).
You need to install either Microsoft MPI or Intel MPI first. I recommend using Microsoft MPI which you can downloaded from the Microsoft software center, free of cost (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=105289).
Once it is installed please activate the MPI option in the DYTRAN Explorer as shown below (Tools/Options/MPI/Microsoft MPI).
You are now ready to use the parallelization in DYTRAN. Hope this helps you. If you need any other help please contact me.
